student: You like not knowing?<\/p>\n
teacher: I’m usually wrong about what’s going to happen next and I like that.<\/p>\n
student: Why?<\/p>\n
teacher: Keep the assumptions in check.<\/p>\n
student: Which assumptions?<\/p>\n
teacher: When someone takes the stage one gets a sense\u00a0that they might be this way or that way and many times these assumptions are wrong. That’s the best part of an open stage. No –\u00a0I take that back – the best part is when I think someone is something I’ve seen a million times before but they turn out to be so original I’m destroyed.<\/p>\n
student: I think\u00a0it’s about entertainment.<\/p>\n
teacher:\u00a0So does Nancy White.<\/p>\n
student: Who’s that?<\/p>\n
teacher:\u00a0You would have to be up on my most recent Facebook posts to understand.<\/p>\n
student: I’m not on Facebook.<\/p>\n
teacher: Obviously.<\/p>\n
student: So you don’t think performing is entertainment?<\/p>\n
teacher: Entertainment is part of it but the artists I like the most aren’t primarily entertainment.<\/p>\n
student: What are they?<\/p>\n
teacher: Dangerous.<\/p>\n
student: What’s that mean?<\/p>\n
teacher: They’re not entertainers. They take the stage and pretty soon we’re not in Kansas anymore.<\/p>\n
